He responded, “Calm down, im (sic) going to turn myself in.”

The correspondence continued as police noted their 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. business hours, obviously interested in making it as easy as possible for their apparent customer.

Ever the gentleman, Akers said that he was “tying up a couple loose ends since i will probably be in there for a month. Should be in there in the next 48 hours.”

Police played along for a bit, but when he didn’t keep his promise, police called him out on Facebook.

“You … said you were going to turn yourself in. We waited, but you didn’t show. After you stood us up, we reached out again,” police said, even offering him a ride. “Please call us anytime and we will come to you.”

Akers on Monday used the classic line, “It’s not you. It’s me.”

“I obviously have commitment issues. I apologize for standing you up, but let me make it up to you," Akers wrote. "I will be there no later then (sic) lunchtime tomorrow, I know you have no reason to believe me after what i did to you, but I promise that if i dont make it on my own by lunchtime tomorrow I will call for a ride to assist me with my commitment issues. … P.S. You're beautful (sic)”

Akers was booked into jail on Tuesday.
